[Scripting Question] Changing Music Effect for Key Item

GPK · Feb 11, 2018

Hello PokéCommunity!

I have composed several different Music Effects for receiving an item, a theme when the player receives a regular item, an egg, a TM, an HM, a Mega Stone, and a Key Item.

Is there any way I can make it so that way when the player receives say a Key Item, that a script will know that that is a key item, and play a different ME instead?

You'll need to edit def Kernel.pbItemBall and def Kernel.pbReceiveItem in script section PField_Field, specifically the \\me[Item get]'s to change it for the items.
It works the same way as the normal event commands, with the text in the square brackets ("[" and "]") being the name of the file in the ME folder.
But you'll need to modify those commands to check the type of item it's going into. Something like this could work:

Code:

def Kernel.pbReceiveItem(item,quantity=1)
  if item.is_a?(String) || item.is_a?(Symbol)
    item = getID(PBItems,item)
  end
  return false if !item || item<=0 || quantity<1
  itemname = (quantity>1) ? PBItems.getNamePlural(item) : PBItems.getName(item)
  pocket = pbGetPocket(item)
  music="Item get" # change this to your default
  if pbIsTechnicalMachine?(item)
    music ="TM get"
  elsif pbIsHiddenMachine?(item)
    music = "HM get"
  elsif pbIsKeyItem?(item)
    music = "Key get"
  elsif pbIsMegaStone?(item)
    music = "MegaStone get"
  end
  if isConst?(item,PBItems,:LEFTOVERS)
    Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("\\me[{1}]You obtained some \\c[1]{2}\\c[0]!\\wtnp[30]",music,itemname))
  elsif pbIsMachine?(item)   # TM or HM
    Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("\\me[{1}]You obtained \\c[1]{2} {3}\\c[0]!\\wtnp[30]",music,itemname,PBMoves.getName(pbGetMachine(item))))
  elsif quantity>1
    Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("\\me[{1}]You obtained {2} \\c[1]{3}\\c[0]!\\wtnp[30]",music,quantity,itemname))
  elsif ['a','e','i','o','u'].include?(itemname[0,1].downcase)
    Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("\\me[{1}]You obtained an \\c[1]{2}\\c[0]!\\wtnp[30]",music,itemname))
  else
    Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("\\me[{1}]You obtained a \\c[1]{2}\\c[0]!\\wtnp[30]",music,itemname))
  end
  if $PokemonBag.pbStoreItem(item,quantity)   # If item can be added
    Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("You put the {1} away\\nin the <icon=bagPocket{2}>\\c[1]{3} Pocket\\c[0].",
       itemname,pocket,PokemonBag.pocketNames()[pocket]))
    return true
  end
  return false   # Can't add the item
end

rinse and repeat for the other one.
As for pokemon eggs, the script doesn't normally make sounds or any fanfare when you get it, though you can do it yourself.

Code:

def pbGenerateEgg(pokemon,text="")
  return false if !pokemon || !$Trainer || $Trainer.party.length>=6
  if pokemon.is_a?(String) || pokemon.is_a?(Symbol)
    pokemon = getID(PBSpecies,pokemon)
  end
  if pokemon.is_a?(Integer)
    pokemon = PokeBattle_Pokemon.new(pokemon,EGGINITIALLEVEL,$Trainer)
  end
  # Get egg steps
  dexdata = pbOpenDexData
  pbDexDataOffset(dexdata,pokemon.fSpecies,21)
  eggsteps = dexdata.fgetw
  dexdata.close
  # Set egg's details
  pokemon.name       = _INTL("Egg")
  pokemon.eggsteps   = eggsteps
  pokemon.obtainText = text
  pokemon.calcStats
  # Add egg to party
  $Trainer.party[$Trainer.party.length] = pokemon
  Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("\\me[Egg get]{1} received a Pokémon egg.\1",$Trainer.name))
  return true
end

IDK, something like that, I basically copied the text said when you get a pokemon normally.

Thanks! It works!

It was kind of weird though, I didn't have to repeat when I went to script it the second time, it just worked from the other one I guess
